2021 decor trends: Fresh ways to use florals in Indian weddings

The big question is, do we ever get over flowers at Indian weddings? The answer, as you assume is never. Floral decor at Indian weddings oscillates between OTT and ornate – give or take a few centrepieces and elaborate mandaps. In 2021, we put together a list of fresh ways in which couples and wedding decorators are using florals to create the right drama. These floral decor trends of 2021 are unique, stunning and one-of-a-kind, for sure!

We stan dried floral arrangements and this setting is interesting because of it’s diversity and it’s path to genius. We love the palm leaves in myriad colours that add the charm.

Cascading florals

Cascading florals on the ceiling is just such a great look for a wedding – it adds an otherworldly look to the setting and gives the wedding that much-needed charm.

Floral walls

This look is not from a wedding, but from a shoot. The way in which the roses climb the walls to add that beautiful backdrop is just Insta-worthy.
